PAPER RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 13, 1920.

Application filed. May 17, 1919. Serial No. 297,736.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHESTER WV. NEsKI, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois, have invented new and useful 1m provements inPaper Receptacles, of which the following is a'specification.

The receptacle which is the subject matter of the present applicationfor patent is designed more particularly for holding small, easilybroken articles, such as glass v1als and the like, and its object is toprovide a novel and improved receptacle for this purpose which is simpleand cheap, and constructed entirely of a single sheet of paste board orother suitable material which can be readily bent.

In order that the invention may be better understood, reference is hadto the accompanying drawing forming a part ofthis specification.

In the drawing,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle;

Fig. 2 is a cross sectionon theline 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is' a perspective view of the receptacle with one end open, and

Fig. 4 is a plan View of the blank before it is folded to form thereceptacle.

Referring specifically to the drawing, the receptacle is made up of asingle sheet of stiff paper, paste-board, or other suitable materialwhich is readily'bendable after being creased where the bends are to bemade. The blank or sheet is shown in Fig. 4. This blank is scoredtransversely in the places indicated by the reference numerals 5 to 15,inclusive, whereby the blank is divided into the sections indicated bythe reference nu- In the section 22 are perforations 28 and in thesection 26 are perforations 29. At the ends of the section 16 areoutwardly extending tongues 30 and 31, respectively, and the section 18has similar tongues 32 and 33, respectively. At one end of the section17 between the tongues 31 and 33, is a flap 34 having a foldable tongue35 at its outer end, and at one end of the section 19 is a similar flap36 and tongue 37, the latter flap and its tongue extending from thatedge of the blank from which the tongues 30 and 32 project. At one endof the section 20 is an outstanding tongue 38, the same extending fromthe same edge of the blank from which the tongues 31 and project.

The sections 17, 19 and 24 are much wider than the other sections, therelative dimensions being such that when the blank is folded a shallowrectangular box-like receptacle is produced as shown in Fig. 1. Theblank is folded in the following manner to produce this structure.

The section 17forms the bottom of the box, the narrow sections 16 and 18on opposite sides thereof being bent upwardly to extend perpendicularlythereto and form the sides of the box. The section 19 is bent to lieabovethe section 17 and it forms the top of the box. The projectingflaps and tongues form the ends of the box and the manner in which theyare folded will be presently described. Before the section 19 is foldedover, the section 24 is folded to come beneath the same. The narrowsection 20 is folded down to come alongside the side wall 16 on theinside thereof, and the section 21 is folded to seat on top of thebottom 17. The perforated section '22 is folded to extendperpendicularly between the sections 17 and 24 and the section 23 isfolded to lie beneath the section 24. The sections 25, 26 and 27 arefolded in the same manner as the sections 23, 22 and 21. The interior ofthe box now has two longitudinal partitions 22 and 26, the sameextending perpendicularly between its top and bottom walls, and beingspaced fromand parallel to its side walls 16 and 18. The openings orperforations 28 and 29 of these partitions are in alinement, and thevials or other articles are supported by being inserted at their endsinto said openings as shown dotted in Fig. 2. It will be understood, ofcourse, that the vials must be inserted before the structure iscompletely folded, this being usually done before parts forming thepartition are folded and covered up by the other portions of the box.The part 17 is described as the bottom and the part 19 as the top of thebox, but it will be understood that this is immaterial, and the part 17may be considered the top and the part 19 the bottom. The tongues 31 and33 extending from one end of the side walls 16 and 18, the flap 34 withits tongue 35, and the tongue 38 form a closure for this end of the box.The tongue 38 is first folded inward across the box end and then thetongues 31 and 33 are then folded upward to overlie the overlappingtongues, and the tongue 35 is tucked in between the parts19 and 24 andacross the top edge of the folded tongue 38. The closure for the otherend of the box is made by the tongues and 32, and the flap 36 with itstongue 37 and these parts being folded in the same manner as the partsconstituting the closure for. the first described end of.

the box. .The tongues 30 and 32 have'edge notches 39 so that they may belocked together in overlapping position. 'Edge" notches 40 for the :samepurpose are provided for the tongues 31 and33. The tongue 35 is tuckedin to extend across the top edge of the extra tongue 38, which serves tohold the top 19 down in place and prevents it from swinging outward. Thetop .19 is held at theopposite end ofv the box by the tongue 37 as theflap 36 is on said top and is folded downwardly so that its flap may betucked in beneath the bottom edges of the tongues 30 and 32. The box isthus securely heldin set up position, and before any of the vials orother articles can beremoved, it must be opened atboth ends andunfolded.

The perforations 29 are extended at one side to form slits which renderthe stock sufliciently flexible to admit of the insertion of vials ofthe ampul or contracted neck ing integral with the top and the bottom:walls, and the other sidewall being integral with the bottom wall, aflaps integral with I the top walliand foldable intothe box, said flapbeing furtherrfoldable to form-a side portion seating alongside theinterior of one of the side walls, and having a portion seating beneaththe top wall, and provided,

with bottom return bends at its ends, said return bends terminating indownward bendsto the bottom wall to form partitions in the box, saidpartitions having lateral bends at the bottom seating on the bottomwall, and one of said lateral bends being joined to the aforesaid sideportion of the flap, and the partitions having article supportingapertures. v 1 a In testimony whereof I aflix my'si ature.
